Scratching Noises in Your Attic?

Unwanted Wildlife on Property?

Problem Bird or Bat Infestation?

Digging Lawn or Under House?

We Can Solve It!

Many of Indiana's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found
that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably,
these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire
hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving Indiana's
wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

We do not handle dog or cat problems. If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local St. Joseph county animal services
for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, spay & neuter programs, vaccinations, licenses,
pet adoption, bite reports, deceased pets, lost pets, local animal complaints and to report neglected or abused animals. There is no free Mishawaka animal control for wildlife issues.

Mishawaka Wildlife Removal Tip: How To Keep Raccoons Out Of Your House

If you look at their face, raccoons appear like cute bandits, but the time you will observe their activities, you will call them non-sense creatures. These innocent looking animals are always ready to steal food from your trashcans, yard, and gardens; however, if given a chance they can even start sharing your living space. Most of the residents in the United States are in trouble due to frequent attacks of raccoons. They cause huge damage to the property while searching for the food and shelter. Experts do not recommend allowing these terrible creatures inside property premises; but in case if they are already in, you need to follow immediate steps to get rid of them.

Take away all the food sources:

The biggest reason why raccoons visit your property is that they find enough food in your premises. If you want to get rid of them, the best idea is to take away all the food sources including pet food, bird seed, and other leftovers. Note that raccoons are not picky about their food, they can eat anything that is easily available around. In case if you feed wildlife in your premises, there are chances that raccoons may also visit your area to eat something.

Clean all the trashcans:

Raccoons can even start the search for food from your trashcans. If you leave open trash bags in the garden or yard, these notorious creatures can create a complete mess in the area. The best solution is to keep your trash in well-packed cans, and it should have strong lids that cannot be broken by raccoons.

Scare raccoons in the attic:

In case if you are observing some noises from the attic and it is because of raccoons; one needs to take immediate steps to get rid of these creatures. You need to check all the entry points that they have used to get in, and they must be sealed when raccoons are removed from the area. Note that raccoons do not need a big space to enter inside, a small hole of only 4-inch diameter is enough for them. You can also use raccoon predators or deterrents to scare these creatures away from your attic.

Create discomfort for them:

Raccoons love to live in the warm, cozy and quiet places so if you want to force them to move out of your premises, you can install some motion sensors with the loud sound mechanism. The sharp, bright light and heavy sound work like the biggest enemy for these animals, and they prefer to leave such shelters where they find lots of noise.

If you have raccoon babies in your attic, it is good to wait for few days before forcing them to move out. The small babies cannot walk, and they are not even safe outside; wait for few weeks so that they can grow well. Later you can take help from professionals to relocate the mother raccoon with her babies. Once they are gone, make sure to seal the raccoon entry points permanently.
